Fiscal Year 2003 Career and Technical Education
Entitlements (State Funds)

The final fiscal year 2003 state entitlements for
career and technical education for each school division, including regional
center payments, are contained in Attachment A.Please note that the career and technical education state
entitlements for regional centers are paid directly to the school divisions
participating in the regional centers rather than to a single fiscal
agent.Regional center entitlements
paid directly to participating school divisions should be transferred to the
regional center to which they are due prior to the close of the fiscal
year.The amounts contained in
Attachment A will be paid to school divisions on May 16, 2003, by electronic
funds transfer.

State funds distributed to eligible school divisions are
based upon actual expenditures from the prior fiscal year and the total funds
appropriated by the General Assembly for these two programs.To determine each school divisions fiscal
year 2003 allocation for occupational preparation and adult occupational
programs, state funding is divided by total fiscal year 2002 expenditures (both
state and local funds) to determine a reimbursement percentage for each
program.For fiscal year 2003, it has
been determined that each eligible school division can be reimbursed for 28.72
percent of its fiscal year 2002 occupational preparation expenditures and for
32.45 percent of its fiscal year 2002 adult occupational program
expenditures.Those school divisions
that did not operate these programs in fiscal year 2002 and, therefore, did not
record any local expenditures in fiscal year 2002, will not receive a state
reimbursement in fiscal year 2003.
